Allow to change Visual Studio Code icon #119324

Closed corwin-of-amber closed 3 years ago

corwin-of-amber commented 3 years ago

This issue #26839 has been closed but not fixed. I am trying to change the VSCode application icon on my macOS, but every time VSCode installs an update, the icon reverts back to the stock icon. I am using the Insiders build so updates are very frequent, I wouldn't like to add "Change VSCode app icon" to my daily routine.

Please, the Big Sur-style icon with the white squircle background is unbearable. At least as long as the update has nothing to do with the update, VSCode can keep the user's preferred one.

Thanks for the feedback. We understand that this is frustrating but unfortunately this isn't possible to do. This also occurs in other applications when there is an update so it's not specific to VS Code. Will have to close this issue, sorry for the trouble.

Can you at least tell me where VSCode is saving the downloaded updates on macOS? Should they be saved in /Library/Updates? At the very moment, there is no pending update so I cannot check.
